Buoncristiani 2015 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
$ 32.00
A fantastic boutique Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley from our friends at Buoncristiani. Only 325 cases produced.
The Buoncristiani Brothers proudly present the new release of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Achieving their desired style and profile for their first release was accomplished through careful vineyard and clonal selection, proper maturity at harvest, and very specific handling of the juice on the gentle path towards bottling. Complex aromas of lemon zest, white peach, ripe ruby grapefruit, orange sherbert, floral muscat, vanilla, and lemon cream pie entice the senses. On the palate, a creamy texture leads the way to layered flavors of mango, green melon, nectarine, key lime pie, honeysuckle and vanilla wafer. Zesty citrus flavors, tropical fruit and ultra bright acidity linger in the crisp and clean finish. Highly recommended.

Buoncristiani 2015 O.P.C. Proprietary Red, Napa Valley

A fantastic new Napa Red discovery - highly recommended while this small-production gem is still available.
93 Points Robert Parker: "Composed of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Syrah, 20% Malbec and 14% Merlot, the 2015 Proprietary Red Blend O.P.C. displays a deep garnet-purple color and nose of black cherry compote, blackberry pie and wild blueberries with hints of violets, chocolate box and anise. Full-bodied and voluptuously fruited in the mouth, it has soft, rounded tannins and great expression, finishing long and spicy."
previous vintage 95 points (Editors’ Choice) Wine Enthusiast: "Just gorgeous. Floods the mouth with decadent black currant, cherry, chocolate, anise, beef jerky and smoky oak flavors that stun for their addictive deliciousness. Yet it is perfectly dry, and the balance of rich, ripe tannins, acidity and smoky oak is near perfect. The wine is a blend of Bordeaux varieties and Syrah, from esteemed vineyards including Hyde, Stagecoach and Caldwell."
The young Buoncristiani brothers have harnessed their shared passion for creating handcrafted, premium wines and have quickly created a buzz about the brand. Their family winery in the Napa Valley has turned out a Proprietary Red that has been knocking off more famous names in a variety of comparative tastings, including labels that fetch more than three times its price!
Buoncristiani 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
$ 119.95
95 Points - limited
95 Points Robert Parker: "Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up pronounced creme de cassis, plum preserves and black forest cake notes with hints of cedar, spice box and menthol. Full-bodied, rich and packed with black fruit and baking spice flavor layers, it has a firm, grainy backbone and nice freshness, finishing very long."
If you are looking for that lavish, layered, trophy-styled Cabernet, the brothers Buoncristiani have delivered their best effort to date by far. It is deep, extracted, creamy and lush, packed with sweet currant fruit and shamelessly veneered with some high quality wood. They were clearly swinging for the fences here and connected, and by the standards of what’s in the bottle, it’s actually a value because it can hang with the top Cabs we have, making it a relative bargain.
